Popovers with Strawberry Butter

January 12th, 2010

I’m what you’d call a bread addict. Whether we’re talking about a warm, chewy bagel or a loaf of dark pumpernickel, I don’t discriminate. Though they contain no yeast, popovers fall into this category and they’re at the top of my list. For those of you that haven’t bitten into what’s essentially a piece of fluffy air, you’re really missing out. I found the recipe on Orangette (adapted from The Bread Bible), and I must say, I was pretty impressed that they not only rose, but were light and flavorful. To really bring it home, I whipped up some strawberry butter (by beating together 1/2 cup of butter with 1/2 cup strawberry preserves) and it was the perfect touch for an indulgent breakfast.

Popovers are the best! I grew up with my mom making them about once a week–a little bit of butter and raspberry preserves, yum!

Had to double-comment on this one. Was so inspired I came home and made my first ever Popover & Raspberry Peach Champagne Butter. They taste pretty darn delicious!

have you ever thought of investing in a popover tray?? they guarantee domed tops and perfect popovers everytime! martha suggested them and i have been so thankful.
if you can’t find one, she suggests you only use the outside cups of the tray, again, to get perfect dome shapes.
delicious post!

Popovers have been in my family for years. Always what we had when we did brunch but the purist in me loves them only with butter and honey. Next time – try it just with the honey and butter but sometimes I will eat them with a homemade jam as well! I love how much more popular popovers have been getting! I’ve also heard to make them in china teacups if you don’t have a popover pan to get them perfect. Last I heard, Target has popover pans ( in response to Andy’s comment)

Those look absolutely amazing! I will definitely try those out the next time I have access to a kitchen, which sadly won’t be until a few months from now when I visit my family. I’ve never heard of strawberry butter before, but it sounds perfect
